Can speak vs. are capable – which type of employee do bosses prefer? If professionals were to be classified into just two categories, the outcomes would inevitably be those who are good at talking but lack competence, and those who are competent but do not like to take credit for their achievements. Thus, many people wonder whether in the workplace, those who are good at speaking are more likable, or those who are competent are more popular. Which type of people do bosses prefer? Although each has its advantages and disadvantages. But unfortunately, I have to tell you that in the boss’s mind, those who can “speak” more easily catch their attention. Let’s take an example that is unrelated to the workplace but can verify the above argument. My friend Xiao A is the third-grade homeroom teacher at a well-known primary school. As the saying goes, even dogs reject them at the age of seven or eight. Children of this age, who are in elementary school, are the most difficult to manage. After three years of daily contact, logically, every child should be very familiar with them. However, Xiao A said that in each class, only the best students and the most active children receive the most attention, while those who are average get less attention, as they require less effort to deal with. In fact, the workplace is the same. Those who suffer the most are often those with good abilities but who do not like to express themselves. Children who cry get milk to drink; those who make a fuss attract attention; and employees who can speak are favored more by their bosses. In the workplace, it’s better to be good at talking than at working hard; those who put in hard work will never advance as fast as those who flatter others. So, dear friends, while working, please make an effort to improve your communication skills. Communicate more with your boss and keep him informed more often. Let them know your efforts and dedication. In this way, when there are salary increases, promotions, or benefits offered in the future, they won’t forget you!
